Iron Man #252 1990

Iron Man #252, published by Marvel in January 1990, features "Apothecary Now!" Part 2 of the "Acts of Vengeance" crossover. Recovering from a brutal fight with the Wrecker, Iron Man faces Chemistro, hired by the Wizard to eliminate him. Tony Stark, alongside Rhodey and the original Chemistro, Curtis Carr, must counter Chemistro's dangerous chemical powers, which transform objects, including Iron Man's armor. This issue is notable for its continuation of a major crossover event and a unique villainous challenge for Shell-Head.
